    Emily darling,Alice would be SO proud of you and so touched by this lovely tribute. You are so brave to speak from the heart so eloquently and honestly. You are so right in how you describe her - kind,caring,thoughtful and funny. She loved you all so much and knew she was blessed to have found such amazing friends who loved books just as much as she did and wanted to talk about them all the time. As you say,it didn't matter if you had different tastes - or liked different colour books! - she just wanted to spend time with people who were passionate about reading. I love this video and your photos, thanks so much. I'm crying but I'm happy too and I'm sure that's how she would want us to be. Jane - Alice's broken hearted mum😻💔😿

    I'm watching Alice's latest video over and over again, because I still can't believe that she is gone.😢
    We had just planned our first ever buddy read and because we both wanted to read from our own shelves, she went the extra mile and added all her unread books to StoryGraph, so that we were able to compare and find a book we both own. She was just so lovely.
    Thanks for sharing all these wonderful memories. I am so sorry for your loss. 💔

    We've lost quite a few booktubers within 2024 that I know about and it's always so sad because you feel like you've connected with them enough to know who they are as people. This is so heartbreaking. I can't believe that we've now lost Alice. I've been watching her videos for only a short time and I really loved her content. I can't even imagine how her family and friends must be feeling at this time.
    Also, this was a lovely tribute. You've suffered through such a huge blow of losing a friend that was dear to you. I think that you being an emotional mess is to be expected during this time. Alice sounded like such a remarkable human being and it's such a tragedy that such a lovely person was taken from her loved ones and from those who she loved and cared for.

Thank you for sharing this and for being so open about your grief and for also sharing your friendship with Alice with all of us. What a blessing to have a friend like Alice! I only "knew" Alice from her videos but felt like I really knew her and like we had been real friends forever! I looked forward to her videos all the time. She always made me smile and "made" me add so many books to my own giant bookshelf! My heart goes out to Alice's family and friends and I'm sending up a special prayer for you while you navigate the many emotions that come with losing a very dear friend. Peace to you. Thank you for such a beautiful, loving tribute to Alice.

Don't know if she had children or if all family members were aware of her channel, but in time, it could be of such great help in keeping her memory and spirit alive.

Can I just say that I think you did Alice proud with such an emotional and heartfelt tribute to her and to the deep impact that she had on you and the other members of your special group. The love that you all had for her and that she had for each and every one of you is so clear and i just hope that the fond memories you all have of her will be a blessing and a comfort.
